| Description of the problem | Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan xterra. The contact stated that the remedy referenced in nhtsa campaign id number 08v690000 (air bags:frontal) was insufficient in providing a remedy to the proper population of vehicles, which were manufactured during the listed production dates. The remedy referenced in the recall would only be provided to vehicles originally sold or registered in the salt belt states. However, many consumers reside in non-salt belt states, but frequently travel in salt belt states. As a consequence, the non-salt belt state vehicle owners would incur the same failures, but would be denied a fair remedy. The safety risk would also be increased. In addition, there are other elements with similar properties as salt, which would cause an identical failure. There had been no failure to date. The manufacturer would not assist.
